DEFINITELY not Hogg Island and more than likely, Nicaraguan.

That was a great video....I agree with the previous poster...Not even a DROP of Hog Island Boa in that snake, Its not a Hypomelanistic Either...or Amelanistic...But like the other poster said...sure looks to be a Central American...resembling a Nicaraguan....most likely...but to be on the safe side you could just say Central American...and you would be acurate...

Anybody can open a pet shop and become an instant expert and spew all the miss-information they want to. Just like anyone can post on a forum, like I am now, and think they render themselves an instant know it all. And I should know cuz I are 1.

By the way, likely of Central American Boa decent of some stripe or other. I can't pinpoint the exact country cuz I aint too smert.
